whoever it says is featured actually made the track Tim tacky tack couldn't make one bar

It feels good to finally release this track; it’s been a really long time coming. The beat was produced by my very good friend Coolzey. He gave me a disc containing eleven beats sometime in late 2010 and this was the only one I wrote on. I eventually let my crew hear the beats and they all said this beat was for me. Later I approached Coolzey about letting us pick and choose beats to use for a Mic Hand x Coolzey project. He agreed under the condition that we kept him updated on what beats we were using so he didn’t give them to other friends. We accepted the conditions and got to work, and I had the verse for this finished in April of 2011. The day I finished writing I made a promotional video for Deuce Ellis & Prhyme8’s Peanut Butter Crotch Tour that had a stop in Cedar Rapids. In the video I spit this verse over the beat played from my cell phone and I got a really good response from the people; they seem to like it when I rap fast. I went on to perform this for the first time at the Coopacabana in Cedar Rapids during the Peanut Butter Crotch Tour show. Unfortunately, the crew and I lost our motivation and momentum for the Mic Hand x Coolzey project and it got pushed to the side. Out of the 11 beats, CasetheJoint, Opt Rhyme and I all wrote one solo song each, and we had also been working on an intro song for the project with all of us including Colorless, but it never panned out. I kept performing this song to many people’s amazement and enjoyment, but I didn’t record it until 2013. Sorry for the delay, I’m working on recording and releasing my music in a more timely fashion….

Dog Day Bossanova (feat. Darkside from Argentina)

Mr. Tack a.k.a. Tack-Fu runs a hip-hop record label (Tack-Fu Productions) and an audio production company (85 decibel Monks) in Iowa City, Iowa. Three of his independently released CDs have featured underground heavyweights DJ Vadim, Braille, Mars Ill, Sev Statik, Blueprint, and Illogic. Several instrumentals produced by the production company have appeared on many popular cable television shows, (MTV’s “Cribs,” VH1’s “Behind the Music,” & Comedy Central’s “Mind of Mencia”) educational documentaries, and independent film since 2005.

The 85 decibel Monks were formed in 2001 as a production team consisting of several producers and musicians from the Iowa City area. The collective's main focus nowadays is writing underscore music for visual presentations. This shift in priorities, from selling CDs to licensing music, has moved Tack-Fu’s style from a loop based boom-bap foundation to more of a jazz / funk orientated brand of hip-hop.

Half musical visionary and half ambassador to the musical collective, Tack simply states, “My goal is to complete tracks, adding my work to the work of others until the sonic painting is mixed and mastered. It's a tedious process, but time is needed for the tracks to develop and breathe." He concludes, ”If jumping through hoops is required? So be it."
